Production Support for Multiple BI roll-outs

Hello BI Experts,
This might be more of an administrative question, but I will need inputs from Developer's perspective.
We are having 2 implemenation projects going on at the moment. They are sharing same ECC 6.0 & BI 7.0 landscape.
But as the 2 projects "Go-live" timings do not match, we will be having separate "Production Support" landscape for ECC containing separate DEV & QA system which will be used for Post Go-live production fixes.
So there will be 2 DEVs & 2 QAs for ECC & One Production system. At a time, only one QA will be connected to Prodution.
Do we need similar landscape for BI 7.0 or same DEV BI 7.0 can talk with 2 DEVs ECC 6.0 and same QA BI 7.0 can talk with 2 QA ECC 6.0 ?
What are the complexities of one QA BI talking with 2 QA R/3 source systems ??
Thanks,
Bhushan
P.S. We have SAP MDM 5.5 implemented in our landscape which manages master data.

Thanks Ramesh for the reply.
I agree with you it is not complicated from Basis perspective to create RFCs & source system connections.
I would like to know how complicated it would be for BI Developers to manage data coming from 2 very similar ECC6.0 systems and move it across to Production without trouble.
How will they distinguish which objects are of Production support & which objects belong to current development project ?
How we can guarantee that none of the "non-production object"(which is meant for development or prototype) moves to production via some "production-fix" transport ?
Thanks,
Bhushan

Support for multiple libraries...?

Hi, I have a question as how is the best way to manage y music libraries given my usage scenario.
First let me set the context of what I have. I have over 35GB of ripped music, that resides in an external drive. Currently this music is available through my iTunes application, but it is NOT part of my lybrary (meaning I imported but did NOT copy it into the library). I do NOT want to have 35GB of music in my notebook's HD.
My iTunes library is in my local HD (music folder). This is a small file that basically has the 'podcasts' and the 'artwork'.
What do I want? I would love to keep all my music and videos on the external drive, and have my podcasts in my local HD. This way when I am on the road, I can update the podcasts, without having to carry with me all my music.
This all works fine the way I have it now, except that every time I rip a new CD or buy music from the iTunes Store, they go to my local HD and not my external drive.
Any ideas on how to work this out? I would love support for multiple libraries, but I don't thnks it's possible as far as I looked into it.
Thanks SO much!

This all works fine the way I have it now, except that every time I rip a new CD or buy music from the iTunes Store, they go to my local HD and not my external drive.
Set the 'iTunes Music folder location' (Preferences>Advanced>General) to the music folder on your external.
The next time you rip a CD or purchase music, it will be stored there.
Note: the 'iTunes Music folder location' is not the folder where your music is, but the location where iTunes stores imported music (and added music when 'Copy files to.....' is checked)
If you ran iTunes once with your external drive not attached/mounted, this location is reset to the internal drive.
iTunes 7 has support for multiple libraries. Press and hold the Option-key on launching iTunes until a window pops up which asks you to choose a library or create a new one.
Libra and iTunes Library Manager both work with iTunes 7 and older versions. They also save the preferences for every library you created.
Hope this helps.

Feature request: Support for Multiple Libraries (like in iMovie)

From the threads, I can tell this topic was raised by many for many years. I would like to propose support for multiple iPhoto libraries -- or more specifically, the ability to distribute media across different storage devices.
There is a huge gap between my spacially limited MBP 250 GB SSD and my external 4 TB HDD. I am aware that I can juggle two separate libraries in iPhoto but it's just not practical and the moving of media between the libraries is not a simple drag and drop effort but involves exporting and importing with me having to clean up on one side or the other.
iMovie has had support for several libraries for a long time presumably because the sheer size of media in the video realm gave the iMovie team little choice.
I can't be the only one having this itch, right?

Again, you need to clarify your terms
Aperture can move master photos files around. With Aperture you can write additional metadata to the original file.
You don't need multiple libraries to thematically arrange photos, though. A simple keywordign system will do that.
So in Aperture I don't have to restart into different libraries?
You can have all your photos in a sinble library with the master files stored off-disk easily. You can relocate them from disk to disk too. However, if you;re doing presentations that is probably not necessary if you generate good quality previews. I'd ask about these things on the Aperture forum for more.

How to create production order for multiple items having common raw materia

Dear all,
We are running a sheet metal fabrication company at Vadodara Gujrat.
Please guide us how to create single production order for multiple items using single raw material??
For example, We want to produce baby shirt(item code AAA001), shirt with full sleeve(item code AAA002), shirt with half sleeve(item code AAA003),shirt slim fit (item code AAA004),shirt loose fit(item code AAA005) from single raw material say(item code XXX001).
Right now we have to create 5 production order to produce above 5 items of single sales order in SAP B1 though it is made from single raw material which is foolishness and time consuming too. (Please also note that to produce any finfish good item, raw material required for that item may vary every time in our process.)
Kindly guide us how to solve the problem.
Thanks.

Hi Rupesh Gorashiya,
This is possible through MRP for that you have to put Sales Order first and Run MRP Wizard
MRP Wizard Put Multi Production Order as per Item Taking in Sales Order just click it on and execute.

Support for multiple email addresses in struts

Hi,
I need an example source jsp in struts which contains support for multiple email addresses (dynamic)
Can I have source for this?
Thanks

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean - do you want to display multiple email addresses on a page?

Versioning and parallel development streams for worldwide SAP roll-out

Hi SDN folks,
My customer is in the process of a worldwide roll-out of SAP. They have a transport environment for ECC that looks like this:
D -
>    QA -
> R   -
>   P
We have SAP Charm installed and running in solution manager - to manage the creation of transports in the D system.
The problem we are facing is how to manage parallel development changes and configuration changes.
For example - if we have developers working on a change that is in test in the QA environment - and we hit a production emergency in P - we then need to make an emergency change to the P version (which would only be available in P and R) - and transport this change through to P - in the process - overwriting the changes that our developers are working on in the D and QA environments.
We also have the issue of objects for multiple countries being developed and configured in parallel - and so there will be version conflicts up the to the QA system as well.
Is there any kind of solution for the management of parallel development streams - and versioning - for all custom code / development objects and for configuration changes(other than introducing a second development system)?
Is there any kind of 3rd party product for SAP that helps to solve this issue?
Currently we are considering development freezes, manually renaming objects with versioning identifiers (will only work for some objects), manual backups of versions. - none of these seem to be a tidy universal solution, is there one?
Any help / directions you can offer will be appreciated,
many thanks,
Julian

Hi Julian,
Thanks for the clarification!
Managing production support and new development after go live is always a challenge. It can be addressed in many ways, but it is most important to create a set of rules and stick to the procedure. If you do not want a "second" landscape, you are going to have objects "overwritten" in the D and Q systems when you need to make a production fix -- as you must revert the object in D to the P version to make the fix. Even with a second landscape, objects will have to be merged somehow when a fix is promoted to production.
As I said above, what you can do is have your developers save their current development in released transports before making the production fix. This saves a version that must be merged with the fix, anyway. That is:
Object A is the produciton version and must be fixed.
Object A' is the current development version (unfinished) and is saved into a released transport request.
In D, Object A' is reverted to the A version and corrected for the production error, creating object A'' that is promoted to production.
Object A' and A'' are manually "merged" into A''' as the new current development version.
Yes, objects are overwritten with this method. However, you can always retrieve what has been overwritten since it has been saved in a released transport.
Another option is to bypass Q for production fixes. I.e. D -> R -> P. However, this invalidates the objects in Q until the merged version is created in D and transported to Q.
In any method you choose to do this -- dual development landscapes or not -- discipline and managment are a must.
Best Regards,
Matt

Mailman v3 implementation of support for multiple domains

Mailman has evolved to support listserve names for multiple domains (think VH for listserves). At what point can we see Apple roll this kind of management into the existing product? It would be fabulous to give VH clients the ability to have their own 'branded' listserve experience rather than one with our default domains
Server Group -- please update Mailman when more pressing bug fixes are out of your way. Thank you!

Alex,
Thanks. I know that it can be done via the CLI, but once again we see where alterations done in the CLI will immediately require abandoning the SA as an admin tool. We're trying to encourage Apple to not create this paradox, or rather, to evolve the GUI admin toolset. I was recently at a Leopard Server tour seminar where the field engineer and I discussed this very feature. His comment to me was essentially 'many of the tools in the Server are based on open source projects, so you can simply download the latest update, compile it and configure it for the server ... but you won't be able to use the admin tools we provide." He's accurate, and if I was the only one admin'ing my machines, that might be a temporary solution to this particular small issue. But it immediately brings to mind the reflex question of 'so why did I buy Leopard server?
This is a matter of Apple needing to provide sufficient resources to the Server group to grow the product. Whether that means some new hiring, or not pulling engineers off for other product lines, or a different management paradigm. We shouldn't purchase a server product that is touted as an enterprise-class solution when it may only have a bare framework for the offered toolsets. If growing the toolset to match what is already offered in the open source world (for that particular product) requires abandoning the server tools, then there's a bit of a vision problem with the Server product.
Sorry, -- I didn't mean to get on a soap box. You and I are here to learn and help others. I know you aren't part of Apple any more than I am. I do hope Apple engineers are given some time to peruse this board and mine it for ideas, or gauge the effectiveness of their solutions based on the questions and solutions posed here.
With Mailman 3 so far along in development (VH support was added in October), is Apple culling the very best from it for their user base (and adjusting the SA toolset accordingly)?

Product support for Portege M800

Hi all,
Recently my girlfriend gave me her TOSHIBA M800 laptop. Enlighten me pls as to why I cannot find the model M800 in Toshiba's product support tab?
The models I see there are all 805-XXXXXX.
Is 800 supposed to mean 800 series and that in fact the laptop I am having now is one of those 805-XXXXXX?
I tried to see if any of those M805-XXXXXXX match the model number I see on my laptop but none of it matches. Mine is PPM81L.
I am just trying to find out if my laptop comes with bluetooth.
Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks all!
I found it on the asian page.
I tried to find the manual but cannot locate it. Any kind-hearted soul can teach me how to on the bluetooth?
I read the specifications of my M800 and it states that my laptop does have bluetooth but I have no idea how to turn it on. I turned on the WIFI but I believe it is not the same, because my mobile cannot detect my lappy via bluetooth.
What I am trying to do now is to use my mobile phone as a modem and connect it to my lappy via bluetooth in order for me to surf the internet.
I am currently using windows 7 ultimate.
Any kind hearted soul knows how to do it and is willing to teach me?
Appreciate any kind of help because I am a computer idiot. Thanks.

Support for Multiple Hierarchies defined for the same GL Segment

Hi,
In our eBS setup, we have multiple hierarchies defined for a GL Segment.
OOTB, BI Apps 7.9.6.3 provides support for 10 Segments, and it's corresponding Hierarchies (1 Hierarchy for each Segment).
My question here is whether OOTB BI Apps 7.9.6.3 supports Multiple Hierarchies for the same Segment?+
Thanks,
Ab

no it is not supported OOTB as of today
you need to customize ETL mappings and OBIEE metadata to include hierarchy identifiers from the EBS segment definitions.
Then you have to consider that filtering a hierarchy identifier becomes mandatory during query execution to avoid aggregation of duplicated values.

Still no support for multiple users!!

The only reason I recently updated to 5.0 is I was anxiously awaiting the addition of multi-user support to my Lenovo A10-70 tablet. I had bought it for my young daughter after she broke the screen on her Nexus. Well, without support for User Accounts, this tablet is useless to a parent. I cannot believe a large company like Lenovo does not offer this with its Android tablets! Mark, Cleo, Serene, Lenovo admins - I hope you are reading this. I am also posting this on Amazon where I bought my tablet. Such a shame - great hardware but such poor software choices. P.S. Major issues with the new update to Android 5.0. WiFi does not stay connected. Many Google apps will not run, including Gmail!

Multi-user support is not common in tablets - so far, the ONLY tablet I have found with solid multi-user support is the Galaxy Tab/Note 4 (and even it has issues if you mis-configure it). (Why do I refer to the Tab/Note 4? Yes - the Note 4 is a phablet, and is typically sold via providers AND has a taller resolution than the Tab 4; those are, in fact, the ONLY differences between the Tab 4 and Note 4. They have common features otherwise, and even their updates are released simultaneously.) Lenovo even did the same thing with the A-series - compare their phablet models (G, GV, and H) with their wireless-only F models - you'll find so many commonalities it's not funny. It's the phablets that are getting all the update love (especially when it comes to Lollipop); tablets (F subseries), not so much.Also, phablets are huge in Asia and India (look at sales of the G, GV, and H - the forums HERE are also rather obvious in those reporting successful updates - they are all from Asia or India); Lenovo doesn't push phablets in Europe or North America. (I have no idea whether it is provider resistance or not.) If you want solid multi-user support as a parent, look to Samsung (simply because they actually implemented it properly, which most tablet OEMs aren't going to be bothered with - it's not a knock specifically on Lenovo, because it's not specifically a Lenovo issue). On the Lollipop update issue; how many of us are still soldiering on with the same amount of storage that our tablets came with? (I'm referring mainly to us F-subseries folks.) The thing about the F subseries is that they all have small - if not downright miniscule - amounts of usable eMMC storage; out of the 8GB of eMMC storage the device has, only half that - 4GB - is usable from the start. And every app you install, and assorted things that go along with it, eats into that. Look at the size of the UPDATES that are being reported; S000023 alone is nearly 200MB. The big combo updates - and if you're coming merely from S000020, which is the North American starting place for the F - you're talking nearly a gigabyte just to get to S000027 - do you have that much usable storage? We may well have to bite the bullet and install medium or large (16GB/32GB) microSD cards in our tablets just because of the update-size issue. (It's not like 16GB microSD cards are all that expensive, even retail - I see them at the local Best Buy for - at worst - $15 for SanDIsk Ultra - that's the high end brand of microSD card.) We may be getting those "you have the latest version" due to available-space constraints - I've seen it happen on space-coinstrained WINDOWS PCs often enough.

SCUP 2011 support for multiple SCUP console users

Will Microsoft or does microsoft have a solution to allow for multiple users to upload catalogs and install and use the SCUP 2011 console on workstations? Will SCUP 2011 database support multiple users now or in the future and is it supported? thank you

I cannot speak to what may lie in the future, but this is what we do to have multiple users in the console. We are just now starting to evaluate SCUP, and this works for a handful of users so far.
Install WSUS admin console
Install SCUP 2011
Copy Scup2011.exe.config to
c:\Program Files (x86)\System Center Updates Publisher 2011
Open SCUP console and verify in File-> Options that ConfigMgr Server settings are correct
Verify Advanced settings are correct as well

Did Apple remove support for DNG files generated out of Capture One?

I use Capture One to convert my Leica Dlux-4 RAW files into DNG format and then use Aperture2.1.4 as my photo processing tool.
After I ran the latest OS update - Aperture gives a "Unsupported file format" message for all the DNG files.
Is it possible that Apple removes support for photo formats in the OS updates?
Anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution?
Thx

Go in the adjustment tab, and the first thing you'll see under the histogram is "Raw fine tuning". By default, "2.0" is selected. When importing DNG, you can switch it to "2.0 DNG" this is used to read DNGs from cameras Aperture doesn't support.
Maybe the update made it go back to its default "2.0" while before you where on "2.0 DNG". If I'm right, setting it to "2.0 DNG" will fix the problem.
P.S. sorry if I said "raw precision" instead of "Raw fine tuning" in the first place. My Aperture is in French and the name in French is "Réglage de précision raw" and I did a bad translation.

Support for multiple pdf document with signature

I have a question about signatures.
Does the PDF specification support the combination of multiple pdf documents into one pdf document with the following constraint:
- each individual pdf document has been signed (by an X.509 certificate),
- the individual documents can come from different sources, so they have to be 'included' or merged into the final pdf,
- the final pdf document should not change the signatures of the individual documents.
So each part of the document should maintain the integrity of the individual components and the signature of the individual comnponents are still valid.
Does the pdf specification support this feature?
With kind regards,
Ernst Jan

What you want is called a PDF Package (or Portable Collection in the PDFRef) and is new in PDF 1.7. You can try it out with Acrobat 8.
